The person recommended by Shi Wuzheng was a very special person. After searching for a long time, Chu Xiang saw the person he was looking for, a man who had just returned from hunting and was wearing goggles. Although he was wearing a hat and covering his face, Chu Xiang You can still see the difference in him at a glance.
When he noticed that Chu Xiang was walking towards him, the man wearing goggles did not panic and had no intention of escaping. He got into the short and simple house.
After getting into the small house, the temperature inside was a bit beyond Chu Xiang's expectation. This simple residence built with tents, leaves, boards, waste paper and other things was very warm, and it became even warmer after the brazier in the middle was lit.
"You came to see me?" the man asked, even though he was inside the house, he still didn't take off his goggles.
"Yes." Chu Xiang nodded and picked up the firewood in the brazier. The flames burned even brighter.
"Shi Wuzheng asked you to come?"
"Yes." Apparently Shi Wuzheng had told him about this, and Chu Xiang returned to his original appearance.
"What if I refuse?" There was no surprise at Chu Xiang's appearance. The man took off his goggles and hood. His eyes were not black and white, but had blue pupils, long golden hair, and full cheeks. beard.
"I'm curious, why are you here?" Chu Xiang was not surprised at all by the appearance of the person in front of him, because Shi Wuzheng had already told him and skipped the difficult questions raised by the other party without giving him a chance to refuse.
"This world is very complicated." The blond man said.
Chu Xiang nodded. He understood that the other party did not want to discuss this issue and said, "I need someone to help me make the world a little simpler."
"That's not who I am."
"That's what you're going to be."
"You may be a little overconfident."
"Do you know who I am?" Chu Xiang said.
"I'm not interested in anyone's identity."
Chu Xiang nodded. This was confidence, a more confident attitude than Chu Xiang. No matter who it was, there was no difference in front of him.
"My name is Chu Xiang, and I'm known as the Demon Lord." Chu Xiang said.
"Do you want to transcend the Demon Lord?" The blond man with blue eyes looked up into Chu Xiang's eyes. He obviously knew the Demon Lord Chu Xiang. With one sentence, he revealed what Chu Xiang was thinking. He was indeed not an ordinary person.
"Isn't this obvious?" Chu Xiang asked without answering.
"I'm not a casual person."
Chu Xiang understood what he meant, that a good minister would choose his master, and said: "The strength of Jiangwu Hall only accounts for one-third. I need someone to help me coordinate the other two-thirds of the strength, so that I can The power of being alone.”
"not enough."
"That's why I need you."
"I am a person who is very afraid of death."
Afraid of death means it is very dangerous, and he does not want to do dangerous work.
"What I want is someone who is afraid of death. The more afraid of death, the better."
"It seems I have no choice."
"Yes." Chu Xiang nodded. His only choice was to surrender, because Chu Xiang told him that he still had two-thirds of his strength. This secret was a fatal secret.
"Didn't Shi Wuzheng tell you what kind of person I am?"
"No."
"You may be too confident."
"I think that's a plus."
"I betrayed my motherland and my mentor. My wife died because of me. My parents refused to recognize me as their son. I can't even return to my motherland." After a pause, the blond man continued Said: "Now, do you still think I am a suitable person?"
"Those have nothing to do with me." Chu Xiang said.
"Then you have nothing to do with me."
Chu Xiang understood what he meant, was silent for a while, and said, "This will be a new beginning. No matter the past or the future, there will be opportunities for change."
"I don't want to change."
"I know a monk who drew a line to separate black and white. However, he spent twenty years and could not get to the white side. He could only go to the black side on this line."
"He trapped himself."
"Yes, he trapped himself. When he drew this line, he knew that as long as he stepped across it, there would be no more darkness. But he didn't know that when he drew this line, he was trapped. When you are alone. The line is always there. If you don’t draw it, it will never become a cage. Once it is drawn, it will become a prison in your heart.”
The blond man was silent. After a while, he asked, "Who is this monk?"
"The Smiling Buddha has no monks," Chu Xiang said.
"What is the virtual realm?" the blond man with blue eyes suddenly asked.
"I don't quite understand either. Until now, I only understand one thing: empty this body and accept all things." Chu Xiangdao, stretched out his palms, the air flow in the palms swirled rapidly, the cold air condensed, forming a standard cylindrical cyclone in the palms .
"How many virtual realms may there be in this land?" The blond man continued to ask without being surprised by the vision in Chu Xiang's palm.
After a moment of silence, Chu Xiang said: "There may be more than we imagined."
The blond man frowned slightly, and his expression changed for the first time. Chu Xiang held the sword, closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, and pointed his index finger between his eyebrows. Suddenly, the surrounding atmosphere changed drastically, and a heavy pressure was born out of thin air, beating continuously. The flames were suppressed.
For a moment, Chu Xiang retracted his finger. After a long time, the blond man said: "Such power is indeed beyond the scope of the mortal world."
Chu Xiang nodded. What he did just now was very simple. He visualized the terrifying atmosphere of the twelve golden people he sensed in Mingsha Mountain, and reflected it in the mind of the blond man. The atmosphere embodied by Chu Xiang was far away. It was far inferior to the weather that Chu Xiang sensed, but it was terrifying enough for the blond man. He understood that the weather that made Chu Xiang feel like this was definitely a world-destroying power, a power beyond the ordinary world.
"This road is very long." Chu Xiang said.
"Yes, it's very long, but I want to go to the end and see it." There was a light in the blond man's eyes.
Chu Xiang successfully aroused the interest of the blond man. For many people, the lack of goals is because he has never seen anything that shocks them. Once they understand that there is something far beyond their knowledge in this world, this shock will disappear. It will change his mind and break through the shackles of his heart.
Skinning the hunted beast, removing the internal organs, cutting it into pieces and roasting it on the fire, the blond man moved very slowly, and the focus of his eyes was not on the thing in his hand at all.
"I have been called a genius since I was eleven years old. I graduated with a doctorate at the age of twenty-one. I was expelled from my motherland at the age of twenty-three. I wandered in China for thirteen years and rode a bicycle to Tibet thirteen times. Once I took a small boat to Namtso and played in it for a long time. Then I was arrested by the National Security Bureau and detained for thirty-four days. Later, they actually let me go without deporting me. I have never left China since then. ." The blond man said slowly.
Chu Xiang did not interrupt him, understanding that he just wanted to talk, release the pressure in his heart, draw a clear line between himself and the past, and at the same time let Chu Xiang get to know him better so that he could start working on it in the future.
"Do you know how I met Shi Wuzheng?" the blond man said, with a mysterious and happy smile on his face.
Chu Xiang looked at him, waiting for him to say.
"He is my junior brother. One day I saw him and he was with a woman. He suddenly came over and said to me: Senior brother, I brought your wife to you."
"She became your wife later?" Chu Xiang said with a smile.
"Yes." The blond man nodded.
"It's great to have such a junior brother." Chu Xiang smiled.
"That was the first and last time I met him. No one knew we knew each other except her."
The two of them had only met once, which surprised Chu Xiang. Sure enough, outstanding people have all kinds of quirks.
The blond man with blue eyes picked up a book next to him: "I have been in China for thirteen years and have read this Tao Te Ching at least three hundred times, but I never understood it. It was not until the great changes that I understood the first sentence, I After studying for another three years, I finally managed to understand this book, and today, I truly understand the power it contains."
Chu Xiang had only read it once and had forgotten more than 90% of the content. He had no idea what the power he was talking about was.
"I heard that those who can understand this book are not ordinary people." Chu Xiang said.
"Maybe no one understands yet." The blond man said.
"oh?"
